Morning denizens 
I had a slightly restless night to start with, waking or half-waking several times until about 3am. So I ended up sleeping on after deactivating both alarms, and felt much better for it. It makes starting the day a bit of a rush, but it’s not as if anybody really cares what time I start - or, indeed, finish - work, as long as stuff gets done
It’s a grey day, though not rainy - a 10% chance of showers between 10-11am is the worst we have to fear in that department, supposedly. It’s 15°C (“feels like” 11°) and expected to soar to 23° later, while tonight won’t dip below 18°. Last gasp of summer?
Speaking of which, I was thinking last night that I’d make it to the end of September without using the heating; it’s on, but the thermostat hasn’t activated it in ages. But when I finally arose and walked into the living room, it felt chilly enough that I decided this was a foolish and arbitrary target, and duly prodded it into action. Lovely and warm in here now
The thermostat is located in the hall, at pretty much the deepest point within the flat and surrounding building that it could be, so always reckons it’s comfortably warm when the rooms I actually live in aren’t. There’s a setting to tell it to offset its perceived temperature relative to the ones in its programs, to allow for this kind of situation, but neither the previous owner nor I have ever got around to configuring it. If I had done, it would have kicked in automatically this morning anyway
